About this race
The Dublin BHAA BMS 5k Trail Race is held at the National Sports Campus in Abbottstown, west Dublin. The course follows the cross-country trails and paths of the campus grounds in a loop. Organised by BMS under the BHAA structure, the race is held in August as one of the later summer events on the Dublin BHAA calendar. The Sports Campus offers excellent facilities with ample parking and a modern venue for post-race refreshments and prize-giving.
Course profile & record eligibility
World Athletics record-eligibility rules cap net elevation loss at 1m per km of race distance, and require the start and finish to be no more than 50% of the race distance apart — both meant to stop a course gaining an unfair edge from downhill grade or a point-to-point tailwind. This is based on this course's recorded elevation and GPS data, not an official measurement or certification.
